x86/fpu: Simplify and speed up fpu__copy() 

fpu__copy() has a preempt_disable()/enable() pair, which it had to do to
be able to atomically unlazy the current task when doing an FNSAVE.

But we don't unlazy tasks anymore, we always do direct saves/restores of
FPU context.

So remove both the unnecessary critical section, and update the comments.

* We have to do all this with preemption disabled,

* case we must not allow preemption in the window
* between the FNSAVE and us marking the context lazy.
*
* It shouldn't be an issue as even FNSAVE is plenty

* register contents so we have to copy them back. )
